Why Can’t I Love

I’m so set in stone

so set on being relentless

without love, i know i’ll never be happy

 

why am i my worst enemy,

why am i so set on not letting them in

my heart is home to a void

 

a void i created or maybe it’s always been

i’m so set in stone, and yet my never ending

search-less journey to prosperity

 

has turned out to be all but a fluke

i am so set in stone about love

keep telling myself it’s not for me

 

but sometimes a boy just wants to be felt

or hold, but that is not how my head works

i’m so set, and scared of love.
